AUBURN, Alabama – Auburn President Jay Gogue expressed disappointment Friday in the football team's season and said while he'd listen to the recommendation of his athletics director, the future of coach Gene Chizik is "a decision I have to make."

Gogue reiterated Friday that he would decide whether to retain Chizik after the season. He also said he was disappointed in Auburn's 2-8 football season. Gogue made his comments after a regular-scheduled Board of Trustees meeting in which football was not on the agenda.

Gogue said he has heard from fans and they are "just like all of us. They've been disappointed with the performance this year with the football team. That's certainly legitimate. At the end of the season, we'll have a chance to sit down and review where we are

"You never know until the end of the season what you've got, and so we'll wait until the end of the season."

When asked, Gogue said that review would include Athletics Director Jay Jacobs.

"We review all the programs, including the administrative people after every season," he said.

Gogue said he will "certainly listen to Jay's recommendation" on the football program. He said the final decision belongs to him, however, and not Jacobs or the Board of Trustees.

"The board is in a policy role, and not in a hiring of individuals," Gogue said.

Gogue acknowledged the displeasure of fans.

"I share the concerns that we haven't performed on the field as well I would have expected, as well as our fans would have expected," he said.

Auburn has two games remaining, the final home game against Alabama A&M on Saturday and a game at Alabama on Nov. 24.
